2 blocks, 30 minutes of gunfire: Just part of deadly weekend in Chicago

Share Update:

Gunfire erupted for a half hour in a two block area Sunday, just part of Chicago’s deadly holiday weekend.

On Escanaba, between 80th and 81st, three people were shot: A 25-year-old man was shot in the head, a 19-year-old woman was shot in the thigh and a 47-year-old man was caught in the crossfire while standing on a porch.

During the shootings, a police helicopter was called in to keep an eye from above, while heavily armed tactical officers from across the South Side converged on a small part of the neighborhood.

The cause of the violence is unknown?

What is CPD/mayors office meaning that the “cause of the violence is unknown.”
Mr Mayor knows the cause and the effect.
The cause is-not enough police on street- the only people on the street shooting are criminals.
I haven’t read 1 not 1 article referring to a law abiding citiczen with a fire arms card or a conceal carry card holder being charged with the recent shooting.
The Effect.
You won’t read or hear that because the gangs and drug dealers are running Chicago and are shooting everybody and anybody that gets in their way or is in the wrong place at the wrong time.
What really gets me twitching is how I read these comments on how they where all “good boys”? WTF you serious or just stupid?

Black People Are The Real Racists

….again, blaming the police for these thugs that choose to shoot at each other instead of going to school, learning how to read, learning a trade, etc. There are plenty of opportunities out there, they can even work at McDonalds. But hey the THUG LIFE is better????!!!!! l o l. you people are always looking to blame others instead of fixing things on your own.
